Vain, I see that you have the shop up and ready to go.
But can you please give us a sample of the special effects you are selling (what is a shadow?)?

And by the way, you da man! :Hail: :Hail: :Hail: :Hail: :Hail: :wink:
Love as thou wilt.

The special effects are up and running. The items will follow a bit later.

Have a look at my name to get an idea. If you mess up, just sell it and buy a different one

You will need to repurchase your servant of the land title - or spend a bit more and create your very own one :) Green on Black looking good

Almost forgot, you need to withdraw money from your bank account to pay for the effects :)

Soooo cool.

Yours is sooooo cool, Syl! :D So you changed your name, got a custom title and did special effects? Did you do glow, shadow, or both??
Love as thou wilt.

I'm sorry to say I don't understand some stuff. I assume my Username is Fist and Faith, and I currently have no title. Whereas Caer Sylvanus' title is Forestal. (Yes indeed, that looks DAMNED good Syl!) Is that right?

And what's all this about Buy Title Privilege, Change Title, and Change Users Title? What do any of those do?

Heh, thanks. Didn't go for the shadows, just did glow and text.

I see you're now Zen Master so you've sorted out the title :)

Change users title enables you to change someone elses title ;)

The Loresraat could take a while before becoming fully active, so have fun with the effects in the meanwhile :)

Screw it, can't buy The High Admin's Monomach as title... gotta think of something else now...

Vain, would be really great if you could poste screenshots of how the effects look... don't want to waste all my money on trying out the different glow colors. ;)

But I don't want to spend all my WGD's and get 300 posts into debt. :lol:

Until I get to doing it properly, hopefully this little table will help with identifying the colours

Yeah, we were chatting last night, and Caer Sylvanus helped me. Actually, he bought Zen Master for me! I was surprised to learn that such a thing can be done, but I doubt it will be abused. (much :) ) So for those who don't know, here's my understanding:

Buy Title Privilege: You need to shell out the initial WGD's in order to have the ability to have any title at all. If you buy this, you are given the default title of "Servant of the Land".

Change Title: You can change your title to whatever you want. It costs you each time you want to change.

Change Users Title: You can actually change somebody else's title. Those who are rich - and either generous (like Syl) or mean (like nobody I know here) - are the only ones who will be doing much of this. Serious money there!

Your current title, under your username, is Lord. Maybe I was wrong about the default. If you didn't change it to Lord, then maybe the default is what we were before this new system.
